Born in NY, raised in Painesville, Ohio by his widowed mother. Went to medical school in Illinois and also Wooster University in Cleveland. Opened a medical practice at W25th and Denison Ave. in Cleveland. (Considering what is shown in the 1860 census, it would seem that it was his grandmother who raised him.)

Why does the obituary show her as a FISH and not a FARNSWORTH? Did she marry a FISH? Her mother's maiden name was FISH but why would Fannie have that surname?
